President Trump- The Implications

[heironymouspasparagus]

Painting that with an awful wide brush don't ya think?  Got it Miss Pelosi, you are a master of politics.

99.9% IS a wide brush.  The widest brush there is until 100% - one tiny step away.

This is the kind of crap our country has been reduced to.  Memes that are neither very funny or accurate (see below).  Yet they are the primary information source for some voters.



It seems likely that President Donald Trump will spend more taxpayer money on vacations this year than Obama did during his entire presidency.

But the end of August, Trump will have spent three times as many days on vacation as Obama during the same period.

But lets be outraged, OUTRAGED at the perceived transgressions of someone who is no longer in office.  Totally ignore that Obama's vacations and costs were on par or less than most presidents while the current one is way above average on both accounts.  OUTRAGE!

Welcome to a post-factual democracy.

Now back to campaigning against Hillary...

CF,

It's ALL about the Fake Fox News lies.

Paul Manafort's home was searched after a pre-dawn raid by the FBI on July 26th.

Here are Don's tweets that day. Someone seems reaaally nervous now.

It does look kind of bad that he criticized the AG for not firing the FBI director on the same day the FBI raids his former campaign managers house...

Looks typical.

But Trump supporters never hear that.  They don't care.  Cognitive dissonance

Trump thanks Russia for expelling US diplomats, says it would help to cut payroll

Now see, maybe we have this all wrong.  Maybe we might thank Kim Jong-un for trimming the populations of Guam or Chicago.

What country are we making great again?

Later, one of his apologists said that Trump was being sarcastic. Or maybe he was joking...again...kinda like this guy:

"A National Rifle Association member came under fire on Friday for suggesting that North Korea should bomb Sacramento, California, instead of Guam.

Grant Stinchfield, a Dallas-based host on NRA TV, decided to comment on growing tensions between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un."

He later apologized after receiving torrential outrage via Twitter.

Car driving into a crowd of counter-protestors this morning. 1 dead, 19 injured.


Trump owns this crap. Worst president ever, by far. And I never thought that could be possible after Bush and his wars and financial meltdown.

Fire Bannon, Miller and Gorka today.

And of course I've seen his supporters say things like the following this morning about this:

"Bet this was a member of BLM"

"Probably one of the counter-protesters trying to make the White Nationalists (funny tweet this morning said that media outlets could save 12 characters in their articles by shortening "White Nationalists"  to "Nazis").

Germany outlawed the public display of swastikas and similar Nazi memorabilia. We should do the same and include the confederate battle flag.

Should we outlaw every symbol hate groups misappropriate, or just pick and choose?



...and when they take a closer look at certain leader's position on slavery, will those statues be shipped to the museum basement too?



Trump built his base on a foundation of trash.  He knows it and isnt going to cut off his source of power.

Online petition started to change the name of Tulsa's Lee Elementary

"No one wants to see Tulsa be the next Charlottesville. There's not much we can do to fight against White Supremacists in America, but this is something we CAN do," reads the petition posted by Antigone LoVoi.

You want to go down the same path and somehow expect us to believe the outcome will be different?
